Questions answered? Let's get started!
A deed of trust (DOT), is a document that conveys title to real property to a trustee as security for a loan until the grantor (borrower) repays the lender according to terms defined in an attached promissory note. It's similar to a mortgage, but differs in that mortgages only include two parties (borrower and lender).
In Tennessee, a Deed of Trust is the most commonly used instrument to secure a loan. Foreclosure can be done non-judicially, saving time and expense. This process is called a Trustee Sale.
There are three parties in this Deed of Trust:
1- The Grantor (Borrower)
2- Holder (Lender) and a
3- Trustee (Neutral Third Party)
Basic Concept. The Trustor (Borrower) conveys property title to a Trustee (Neutral Party). A Trustee or beneficiary/Lender can take an action against any person for damages.
This form can be used by a party selling/financing their own house, rental, condominium or small office building. A Promissory Note and Deed of Trust combined with stringent default terms, can be advantageous to the Lender.
(Tennessee DOT Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)
Important: Your property must be located in Putnam County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

I found it pretty easy to navigate, all worked well. Need a better example of excise tax. Lastly, your link in the email to get to this page doesn't work :)
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Would have paid double for these forms. Thankfully there are professionals making these things, I would have surely messed it up if I tried to do it myself based on my incorrect preconceived ideas.
Thank you!

Outstanding forms and service. Liked that the main deed forms were PDF so I could fill them out on my laptop, in my own time, instead of some online Q/A auto populate system. Guide was helpful, as was the completed sample. Used the erecording service to file the deed, amazing.
Thank you for your wonderful review Nancy! Our team takes pride in providing helpful resources, and we are pleased that the guide and completed sample were beneficial to you throughout the process. Making the deed filing journey smoother for our users is always our top priority.
